Hey Adam - thanks for the note about this. We might need to modify our
installation instructions for the RB411 - we only have a RB411/AH in
house, so we didn't catch that problem. I will make sure to get some
vanilla 411 boards to test.

Glad to hear the 433 boards are working. One bug we have noticed about
the MikroTik radio cards is that dual band cards only show 2.4GHz in
the Commotion setup wizard. There is an issue in on this:

Keep us posted on the MikroTik testing!
